WASHINGTON DAY BY DAY (From Our Special Correspondent) Washington, Nov. is not believed in official circles that the asj sassination of Premier Hara of Japan will have any effect upon the deliberations of the conference on the limiI tation of armaments in so faT as they pertain to the policies of the Japani ese government.

The Japanese delej gates to the arms conference, while i nominally selected by the late Pre; mier, were chosen more on account of their particular merits to deal with various problems to come before the gathering which starts on November 12. While the assassination of the Japanese Premier is regretted in of! fic-ial circles, it will not have a tend! ency to delay consideration of the problems affecting the Far Eastern i questions which are to be brought up i and threshed out before the members of the conference. Outside of Far Eastern matters, Jaan has no parti(cular interest in the arms conference and the untimely end of Premier Hara will not change the situation in any respect. When Samuel Woodfill, reI General Pefshing as the greatest hero of the World War call-1 ed to pay his respects to President; Harding yesterday he was evidently very much perplexed. While he exhi-, bited rare courage, daring and unusual heroism in cleaning out German ma! chine nests, fighting with a pick when his ammunition was exhausted, his: ordeal at the White House got the better of him.

lie evinced the typical soldier that he is and clearly demon-1 strated that he wants nothing of the fuss and feathers that goes with the visit to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy. Of course, Wood- fill was congratulated by the Presi- dent for his acts of daring and hero- ism. But the only comment the ser- treant would make upon leaving the Executive office was: "I found the President a very busy man." Declaring that the reputation of the army is' at stake, Secretary of War Weeks stated today that he would ask Congress to carry on the fullest investigation into the charges made by Senator Watson, of Georgia that American soldiers in France were i hanged on the gallows without so much as a trial. "Either the charges of Senator Watsov true they are not true." said Secretary Weeks. "I shall do everything in my power to assist any committee of Congress in bringing out the real facts in order that the trood name of the army and its work in the World War may not remain under the stigma placed upon it by the charges of the Georgia Senator." Royal A.

Haynes, U. S. Prohibi-, tion Commissioner, is about to sub-1 mit an estimate of $10,000,000 to Di- i rector of the Budget Dawes for the purpose of maintaining the prohibi-1 tion during the next fiscal year. The appropriation for the current year is $7,500,000. "We could use if the; government would give it to use," declared Haynes today.

In view of the fact that General I Dawes has served notice upon all gov! ernment officials to cut all estimates to the bone, it is very doubtful if the appropriationfor the Prohibition of-; lice for next year will be increased to the extent submitted by Haynes. If the government was getting any re- (turns from.the operations of the pro- hibition enforcement officers the siti uation would be quite different. But as matters now stand everything is I going out and nothing coming in, in so far as the management of that particular branch of Uncle Sam's work is concerned. The Argentine Republic has made arrangements with American bank-; ers to borrow in this coun try to be expended in the purchase of railway equipment of all kind to be used on the transportation systems of that country. Most of the money! will be loaned by New York bankers, i This information was contained in a message received by the Departj ment of Commerce today from Ameri1 can Consular Agent Feely at Buenos Aires.

Some 75 new locomotives are to be purchased by Argentine from I the American Locomotive Works, while other rail equipment companies in the United States will receive a proportionate share of orders as a result the advance "to be made to the South 'American Republic. A great number of government clerks who temporarily reside in Washington, but who still hold their voting residences in Virginia, will go i home to vote in the Gubernatorial on Tuesday next. This dies to Republicans as well as Democrats. Isaac Gregg COLUMBIAN PLAYERS i The Columbian Players will hold a special meeting: after late mass to?) morrow at the Lyceum.

SERIOUS CHARGE Young White Man Held For Grand on Complaint of Bond Following a preliminary hearing this mornnj; before Mayor Duncan in the police court a young white man arrested by Ser.trt. Campbell and Policeman Welker on a charge of an alleged attack preferred by a young white woman was held for the action of the grand jury.

It came when the loftiest sentiment oi our people rallied under its emblem i to lessen the suffering of the cruel war. It remained.because our respon- sibilities did not cease when the Arm- istiee was signed.

It is still here, because our duty to the world so largely accomplished, we cannot ignore the suffering of our own preventable disease preventable poverty and the preventable dullness and stuniditv of 1 life with which we are broup-ht irtfo daily contact. How can you give expression to the best impulses of your community life? What can be done to make yours a healthier, a happier and a more pros- perous people? Why can this be done i better, perhaps, at this time, with the co-operation of the American Red Cross Consider yourself sitting in conference at a Chapter Executive Committee at which you are discussing the health and the social prob lems of your community, and what the Red Cross can do to solve them. After all, when you think of your community, you do not just think of its historv and romance, its name and boundaries, its buildings and roads, but of its people who, with you, have made and are making the community what it is. The health of your community must be judged by the relative number of well people and of sick people at any one time, by the number "who die from diseases that might be prevented. The prosperity of your community is not indicated merely by the smoke from your factory chimneys or by your threshing machines, but by the habits of industry or of indolence, by the resourcefulness or the shiftlessness, by the wealth or the poverty of your people.

The intelligence of your community is engaged, in part by the kind of education you provide for your children, by the extent of your civic and social organizations, by the treatment you give your poor, your feeble-minded, epileptics and insane, and your youthful and adult offenders. The civic pride of your people is reflected bv your private homes and public buildings, by your sidewalks, your streets and roads, by your sewage and drainage systems, your garbage disuosal, your dumps, and your privies, by your trees, flowers and shrubbery, by your parks and playgrounds, by your flies and mosquitoes, by the presence or absence of slum conditions. No doubt, you have reason to be gratified with many things that your I community is doing and has done. But what could be improved upon? What is being left undone? How many and who are the victims of this oversight, and what will be the ultimate conl sequences to your community? Whose iconcern is it? To whom does the comj munity look for information, guidance and leadership? Is our Red Cross Chapter able to undertake this work? If so, our Chapter is charged with a eravo responsibility which it cannot I lightly cast trolden oppor1 tunitv to develop that which is noblest I and best in our community life. DO YOU KNOW THAT FOR i THE VETERANS OF THE WORLD WAR THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IS PROVIDING SERVICE COSTING icm.00n.000 A YEAR.

THIS IS MORE THAN AI.L THE MEMBERSHIP FEES PAID TO THE RED CROSS THE THE LAST ROLL CALL. Your Membershin Dollar will help to keop this work going until the need is over. Annual Red Cross Roll Call.

Washington, Nov. American proposals for the limitation of navy armaments by the big powers were completed today and will be submitted to the delegates from Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy as soon as the International Conference gets under way. Under the plan worked out by the Navy Department and approved by the American delegation, the great naval powers are to agree to halt competitive building of battle craft and keep their navies within limits strictly defined in the agreement, limits deemed ample for purely defensive purposes. The capital ship is taken as the unit of naval strength in the American plan. Each party to the compact would maintain not more than the number of capital ships fixed in the agreement, and would construct no additional capital ships except to replace those obsolete vessels actually scrapped.

Each nation would be permitted to maintain not more than a fixed proportion of destroyers, submarines and other subsidiary ships. Limitation of the number of naval airplanes is recognized as difficult problem, because of the ease of evasion of an agreement in this particular. Airplanes constructed in large numbers ostensibly for commcicial purposes would be instantly available for war uses. Under the American practically a parity of the and American navies would be estaolish ed, with a wide Rap between their strength and that of I his would mean the abandonment oi considerable naval construction already provided for by all three The American Navy is now nearly, equal in strength to the British and would be stronger than the British in first class capital ships and gunpower upon completion of the present American building program. British Government is known to be in favor of an agreement which would produce a parity of the British and American navies.

There are certain conditions on which the United States willing to agree not to fortitj the Philippines and Guam in "aurn foi the pledge of Japan not to outlying islands in the I acific. rhis would be deemed a safe procedure it the Anglo-Japanese alliance were abrogated, for reasons that ma, become clearer before long.

Freeman, of Washington, Dr. Klipstein, Rev. P. F. Hall, U.

S. Lambert, Dennis Whittle, M. Horner, Kirk Wallace, and Wallis. Dr. Freeman warned that beneath all seeming calm and in our country there lies the alarming threatenings of social unrest with possibilities as terrible as the evils that overran Europe in the last few years.

The only solution and safeguards are to be found, he said, in the Christian religion, applied in a vital manner to all departments of life. He urged with characteristc intensity every man therefore to take the church and its activities seriously and not to sidestep he responsibility. Rev. Mr. Hall asserted that the alleged desire of all is that St.

Mr. Flanagan argued his side in a very able manner, though it would seem as if the interest here in the Republican candidate is waning con(siderably as election day nears, judging from the marked decrease of at; tendance at his speech here on Wednesday and the overflow audience which greeted Senator E.
